VEHICLE SHOCK ABSORBER IMPROVEMENTS

摘要

A valve for a shock absorber is disclosed. The valve includes a body having a fluid passageway passing there-through, a coil or helical tension spring comprising at least two windings positioned in said fluid passageway, so that when the spring is unloaded, there is no gap between the windings and that the spring is thereby adapted to block the passage of fluid through said fluid passageway. Various aspects of this valve are disclosed. A shock absorber including one or more aspects of this valve is also disclosed.
